What are your experiences with longevity of Sonus Faber speakers?
I consider acquiring a pair of say 12year old Guarneri memento - when would you expect problems with woofer surrounding rubber parts, ferro fluid in tweeter, caps, whatever?

thx in advance for your input!

This speaker uses high-quality parts and should be fine for the next 15-20 years.

Remember that some things can shorten that time: temperature (high and low), UV from sunlight, smoking.
